IDF distributing 'resident' stickers to West Bank settlers

[MrPrax]

The Israel Defense Forces has recently begun distributing "resident" stickers to West Bank settlers to be affixed to their cars' windshields. The stickers are intended to allow settlers to drive quickly through army checkpoints along the Green Line.

Following Friday night's terror attack in Tel Aviv, it was repeatedly suggested that the suicide bomber was driven to the site of the attack by an Arab Israeli driver. (A gag order has been issued on the investigation's details.)
...

The army came up with the sticker idea in order to avoid legal problems it expected if it tried to mark cars driven by Israeli Arabs for further inspection. The army began distributing the stickers a month ago, on an experimental basis, to security coordinators in settlements in the Qalqilyah-Tul Karm area. They, in turn, passed them out to settlers. According to the new system, cars with stickers are not to be checked at the checkpoints.

The IDF does not check all cars driven by Arab Israelis but only those that the commander at a checkpoint suspects or if there are intelligence warnings.

2. Do you suppose Spielberg will make a movie about this war too?

History does seem to repeat itself...sympathy for the devil.

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
’cause I’m in need of some restraint
(who who, who who)

3. Oh course, a Jewish woman

Once drove a bomber through a checkpoint too. And a Jewish man once made massive bombs for Hamas. And a bunch of others are probably still selling stolen IDF weapons to the Palestinians. And some settlers have been firing at the IDF recently.

Let's have collective punishment for all!

4. Collective punishments

The Jewish bomb maker is serving a seven year prison sentence. Are you advocating a prison sentence for all the Palestinians? Or are you saying that all Jews are collectively guilty of terror against Israelis? I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Are the stickers a collective punishment? Similar to the stars that Jews were forced to wear in Germany?


Where is your evidence that a Jew such as Tali Fahima is not already in custody? Would it make Odelia Hubara's family feel any better if all Jews are punished for the crimes of the Islamic Jihad? Will it aid in the speedy entry of any of the waiting cars if everyone must be searched with a microscope? "One punishment for all" is slightly ridiculous, even if it were mandated by law and HR, which I don't think it is. The idea is ridiculous if not just offensive, but maybe that was your intention.


Let's remember that suspected Palestinian collaborators are given a cursory trial and hung in public display for several days. Is this a punishment for all? Is it justice recommended for all nations as well?

Again, I will reply as soon as possible to any responses.
